Spray River Trail

What better way to celebrate the New Year than to go skiing?

Taylor Lake

The slog up Taylor Creek was a lot tougher than I remembered!

Rummel Lake

Who are those people who park at the intersection of Mount Shark Road and the Smith-Dorrien trail, and where are they going?

Black Prince Cirque

I went exploring in the Mount Black Prince area.

Three Lakes Valley

It's already been a good start to the ski season, but I hadn't done any backcountry yet.


Lake O'Hara

We hadn't seen Frank and Tiiu in a while, so they joined us for a ski up the Lake O'Hara fire road.


Great Divide Trail

The Great Divide (also known as the Continental Divide) is the jagged line that divides both North and South America between the areas that drain into the Pacific Ocean and the areas that drain into the Atlantic Ocean.

Moraine Lake Road

When I saw that the Banff National Park trail report had Moraine Lake Road listed in "good" condition, I knew it was time for my first ski day of the year!

Raspberry Ridge

Snow levels are putting an end to the hiking season along the Bow Valley. We were hoping that heading south would give us a bit more time.

East End of Rundle

Somehow, I've never topped out on the south summit of Mount Rundle.
